    Every time you say you like this show, you confess your complete lack of taste.

    Graeme, why do you have to be so cynical and piss all over the hopes and dreams of children?


    Even douchebags need role models. Without Booster Gold, who will our future derivative traders, investment bankers, and trust-fund babies look up to? Sure, there's Bruce Wayne, but he doesn't have that smarminess that makes you think "Here is a guy who probably never had sex with a woman that he drugged". And that is where Booster Gold comes in.


    Whether you're looking for a hero with the emotional depth of your Greg Marmalard (of Animal House) or just some guy who can regularly be found at an overpriced bar, drinking mojitos with the collar of his pink A&F polo shirt proudly popped, Booster Gold is your guy.


    Additionally, in this economy, we should be in favor of things that create jobs... like Booster Gold. Think about it for a second.


    This summer - Spencer Pratt is BOOSTER GOLD.


    I think even you would have to admit that that is 15 flavors of AWESOME!


    Remember folks, we need douchebags in general. Without Billy Zabka, "The Karate Kid" would have been a totally lame-o movie. But with Billy Zabka, we all now have moments where we just want to "sweep the leg". Next time you're at a meeting that goes on too long, go up to the presenter and sweep the leg. When the medics are carrying him out, you can thank Billy Zabka for cutting short another worthless Powerpoint presentation.


    Booster Gold is the hero for our modern world.

    @OMG! Ponies!: that's why you're one of the best. I will now never be able to look at Booster Gold without imagining him having a flesh-colored beard.

    La-la-la, not reading this.


    But scrolled down here to urge others to check this show out. I wouldn't even have known it existed if Graeme hadn't kept pimping it, and now I love it.


    I tend to accumulate a few on the TiVo and watch them in bunches, though.


    This version of Bats is wonderfully snarky, but not in a hateful way. It's entirely different from the 90's Batman but it's great.


    And the theme song is so jazzy and catchy.

    They need to rerun these at night not during the day.


    Also, bring back JLU!

    "Multiplatform Content Company" sounds like a meat grinder where you press a button for a comic, movie, or video game, turn a crank, and out plops a patty of mediocrity.

    So, this is like the nerd equivalent of Sanrio, or something? They're just inventing the next generation of science fiction Hello Kitty?

    If he's offering creators a cut of the money, where is this cut coming from? Are they getting smaller (or no) advances for their work? Will they not accept returns from book stores? (I don't even know if that usually happens with comic shops, tbh.)


    Kinda sounds like ubernerdy HarperStudio publishing model.
